Designing Meaningful Learning Experiences

Monday, October 11, 7:30-9:00 am, Oren Gateway 100

The second session of our Foundational Series on Student Learning will explore how to design meaningful learning experiences. This series is designed to address the basic needs faced by anyone who designs learning for our students and is looking for new ways to have a more significant impact. Bring a course syllabus or program outline to get the most out of this workshop. Using L. Dee Fink's integrated approach to design, we will explore the 5 critical questions involved in design, provide examples, and give you an opportunity to reexamine your course or program and apply key principles to improve its design. We will also examine Fink's model of significant learning experiences which can help you discover ways to make the activities you use more impactful or create new ones that facilitate deeper learning. All faculty and staff are welcome to participate. Coffee and pastries will be served. Thanks to all of you who attended the opening session; we hope to see you again.

Facilitators: Stu Anderson, Physics, and Velma Lashbrook, MAL.

Powerful Conversations on NSSE

Thursday, October 28, 12:00-1:00, Century Room

Augsburg College uses the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) to learn more about how our students perceive their college experience. Student engagement is strongly related to both student success and retention. This series of conversations is designed to help faculty and staff understand how well we engage students, explore how we can leverage our strengths to have a more significant impact, and examine what are our most important opportunities for improvement. Over the year, we will look at overall results and then look more closely at each of the five factors measured by NSSE. Every academic department should have a representative attend these sessions. They are scheduled as follows:

October 28, 2010 – Why NSSE Matters at Augsburg (Barbara Farley)
November 18, 2010 – Level of Academic Challenge (Amy Gort)

Hispanic Heritage Month: Heroes and Heroines

Hispanic Heritage Month: Accomplishments, Heroes and Heroines

Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to reflect on the lives of those who came before and after 1850. They were men and women of extraordinary courage, vision and purpose who opened the doors for other generations. During these days of remembrance, we need to pay tribute to all figures of Hispanic/Latino or Chicano ancestry whose lives and accomplishments should not be forgotten; especially of those working the land, factories or living a life with little recognition.

Like any immigrant group that has shaped mainstream American culture before fully asserting its economic or political contribution, Hispanics are getting settled in economically and academically as well as with their advances in the arts or in sports. Below a list of names offer a glance of achievers whose accomplishments, either from decades ago or recently, are worth mentioning due to how they changed or are improving our lives in this great United States of America today. Among them are:

• Mr. Luis W. Alvarez won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1968.
• Ms. Romana Acosta Banuelos the first Latina Treasurer of the United States in 1971.
• Ms. Ellen Lauri Ochoa became the first Hispanic women in space in 1993. She has since completed four flights, logging almost 1,000 hours in space.
• Mr. Jose Antonio Romualdo Pacheco was in 1875 an important figure in California politics. He remains the only Hispanic Governor of California.
• Mr. Esteban Bellan was the first Hispanic to play Major League Baseball, and among US's greatest. He became a successful manager in his native Cuba. He died in 1932.
• Mr. Cesar Chavez, a farm worker who became in the 1960s a figure in labor relations and civil rights. Eight states have declared his birthday, March 31, a public holiday.

In 2009, Hispanic magazine features six prominent Hispanics or Latinos, from a prize-winning writer to a university president. Here are four of them:
1. Mr. Michael Ramirez. In the span of 14 years he won two Pulitzer Prizes. He is today the senior editor and editorial cartoonist for Investor's Business Daily. "I want to be a catalyst to get people involved. I want to be a catalyst of thought," he says.
2. Ms. Deidre Connelly. Since 2005, Ms. Connelly has been president of Lilly USA, the world's 10th largest pharmaceutical company. She joined Lilly in 1984 as a sales representative in San Juan Puerto Rico. She attributes her success to good people.
3. Dr. Elsa A. Murano. In 2008, Dr. Murano took office as president of Texas A&M University, becoming the first Hispanic and the first woman to run the enormous university. "It's tremendous reflection of what is possible," she told the Houston Chronicle. A native of Cuba, Murano and her family left the island when she was 2 years old and resided in Latin America before settling in Miami.
4. Mr. Oscar Hijuelos. The first Latino ever to win a Pulitzer Prize in fiction. The Cuban-American scribe Oscar Hijuelos made waves with his novel The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love, released in 1990. His contemporaries and many scholars credit Hijuelos with the commencement of a Latino literary renaissance.

In 2009, a TIME magazine's cover story features Judge Sonia Sotamayor with a headline that reads "Latina Justice." Indeed, she is an American story of courage and vision. Judge Sotamayor was raised by her mother, who worked two jobs after her father died. Though determined to succeed, she says she never imagined being nominated to the highest court. Today, she is a member of the highest court.

February: HIP HOP: BEYOND BEATS AND RHYMES – "A self-described ‘hip-hop head' takes an in-depth look at masculinity and manhood in rap and hip-hop, where creative genius collides with misogyny, violence and homophobia, exposing the complex intersections of culture and commerce."

Also in February: SAY MY NAME "portrays young, ambitious, inspiring women lyricists fighting the odds in the music business and in a culture that offers few opportunities for women."

March: Augsburg's Native American Film Series brings us "Tracey Deer presents: CLUB NATIVE". Hosted by professor and documentary filmmaker Jennifer Machiorlatti.

April: TEA & JUSTICE "chronicles the experiences of three women who joined the New York Police Department during the 1980s—the first Asian women to become members of a force that was largely white and predominantly male."

Wrestlers Volunteer at Feed My Starving Children

http://athletics.augsburg.edu/news/2010/10/5/wres100510.aspx?path=wrestling

Members of the 11-time national champion Augsburg College wrestling team packaged 27,000 meals in one hour while volunteering at the Feed My Starving Children charity location in Coon Rapids, Minn., recently.

Forty-three wrestlers, coaches and managers from the Augsburg wrestling program, along with 40 other volunteers, participated in the meal-packing session. According to the Feed My Starving Children website: "Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding God's starving children hungry in body and spirit. The approach is simple: children and adults hand-pack meals formulated specially for starving children, and we ship the meals to nearly 70 countries around the world." Feed My Starving Children has three locations in the Twin Cities, two locations in Illinois and another in Arizona.

Augsburg head coach Mark Matzek said that the Auggie wrestlers packed 125 boxes, each holding 216 meals, during the hour-long session -- 27,000 meals, enough to feed 74 people for a full year.

"This experience for our wrestlers, coaches, and managers was priceless," Matzek said. "The collaboration of 80 people to measure, package, and box food that will serve 27,000 meals in one hour is truly staggering. Our team was able to come together off the mat and work with one another, as well as other volunteers, to serve populations who are stricken by extreme poverty in the name of the Lord. I was proud of the team for the way they carried themselves and how hard they worked. But one moment sticks out in my memory -- and that moment is when the group leader at FMSC announced the quantity of meals (27,000) that we had produced and I could see a great sense of accomplishment and fulfillment in each team members face. The buttons of my shirt felt like they were going to burst off I was so proud of these young men and women. This experience will truly be a highlight of this year, and I look forward to doing it again."

Some comments collected by Matzek from the Auggie wrestlers:
"It was fun helping out. It was also fun to compete with one another as we tried to out-package our other teammates, with the end result being 27,000 meals."
"It was exciting to see everyone on the team competing with one another for a good cause."

Augsburg's 11-time NCAA Division III national champion wrestling team opens defense of its latest national title on Oct. 30 with the team's open practice at Si Melby Hall. The competitive season begins on Nov. 20 with the Auggie-Brute-Adidas Open at Si Melby Hall.
